Tim Prica (born April 23, 2002 in Helsingborg ) is a Swedish football player of Serbian and Croatian descent. The striker has been in the professional squad of the Swedish first division team Malmö FF since 2019 and also appears in their youth department.

He is the son of the former Swedish national player Rade Prica .

Club career

Tim Prica was born in Helsingborg on April 23, 2002; his father was doing his last season at Helsingborgs IF at the time and was about to move to Hansa Rostock for the first time . Then the family moved across Europe and lived in Germany, Denmark, England and Norway. During this time, Tim Prica also began playing football; When his father moved to Rosenborg Trondheim in 2009 , the son was registered with Nardo FK , a lower-class playing club from Trondheim , and went through various positions in the youth teams until 2012. When his father moved to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the winter of 2012/13, the then ten-year-old son also moved to the Israelis' youth department . As early as 2014, the son returned home and switched to the club's own youth team at Malmö FF , where he went through all youth teams and also recommended himself for the Swedish Football Association's selection teams . At the age of 15 he made the leap into the club's U-19 team and only a few months later, at the age of 16, was promoted to the Malmö FF U-21 team.

In the winter of 2018/19 he was one of the youngest players in the club's history when he made his debut for the professional team in a training match against FC Roskilde . After the end of June 2019 for the first time in Allsvenskan had sat uneingesetzt on the bench, he came on July 18, 2019 with a 4: 0 away win in the second leg of the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League 2019/20 against Ballymena United from Northern Ireland to his Competitive game debut when his coach Uwe Rösler sent him onto the field in the 61st minute of the game for the former Swedish international Guillermo Molins . On August 18, 2019, he made his league debut in a 5-0 home win over Falkenbergs FF , when he came on the lawn for Felix Beijmo in the 78th minute of the game . Overall, Prica sat on the bench in five league games in the 2019 game year and only played once. In the final ranking of Fotbollsallsvenskan 2019 he was ranked with Malmö FF one point behind Djurgårdens IF Fotbollsförening and tied with third place, Hammarby IF , in second place in the table. His contract with the professional team runs until the end of 2020.

National team career

Prica gained his first experience in a youth national team of the Swedish Football Association when he played in a total of four friendly matches of the Swedish U-15 national team against his peers from Finland and Norway in August and September 2017 , scoring a total of three goals. In May 2018, Prica was brought into the Swedish U-16 team for the first time for a four-nation tournament for U-16 national teams and was used in all three international matches in his home country over the course of the tournament. In the 1: 2 defeat against Austria , the only defeat the Swedes in this tournament, he scored the only goal of his team in this encounter.

Subsequently, he rose in the same year to a regular player in the Swedish U-17 national team - the Swedish Football Association attributed some of the missions to the U-16 team; However, UEFA rates these games for Sweden's U-17s. Tomas Turreson , the then coach of the Swedish U-17 national team, then used Prica in a soccer tournament for Nordic junior national teams in August 2018, with the offensive player scoring two goals and one assist in four appearances. In the following month, Prica, who at times even acted as the team captain of the U-17 national team, played in two friendly matches before starting qualifying for the U-17 European Championship in 2019 with the team at the end of the month . In the basic season he was used by Christofer Augustsson in all three games and came up with a record of three goals and two assists, which means he was involved in at least one goal in every encounter.

As a runner-up behind the Netherlands in Group 1, the Swedes then rose to the elite round of qualification. In this, the center forward was again a regular on his team. After a 2-0 defeat against the French of the same age and a 0-0 draw against Slovakia , the team was on the verge of losing it ; A 2-1 victory over the U-17s from Serbia , in which Prica scored both goals for his team, was enough for a second place in Group 8 and the associated qualification for the European Championship finals in May 2019 Ireland . Augustsson then nominated him to the 20-strong Swedish squad that took part in the European Championship and which included eight Malmö FF players. In the finals, the Swedes in Group B were inferior to the competition from France, the Netherlands and England and were eliminated early from the tournament after three defeats. Most recently (as of December 2019) Prica played in two international matches in October 2019 at a national tournament in Ostrava ( Czech Republic ), where he also contributed a goal.

To date (as of December 29, 2019) he has made 22 international matches in the U-17 national team of his home country and scored eleven goals.
